name: http-listen version: 0.1.0.0 synopsis: Listen to HTTP requests and handle them in arbitrary ways. description: In HTTP connections, there is a client side which sends requests (such as GET and POST), and a server side which receives and parses them. Often, the server side is a web server which responds to requests by sending some HTML pages back. But sometimes it's just a listener. . For example, a Git server may offer web hooks. It could send a POST request whenever a commit is made, or a new repository is created. You then set up a program that listens to these POSTs and reacts by reporting them to the project's IRC channel or a mailing list. . Most HTTP packages assume a typical web server which handles requests by returning HTTP responses. This package tries to fill a gap by providing an API for simple listeners which don't necessarily serve web pages, and can do things like reporting to IRC. . Some features are missing and will be added soon: . * Connection timeouts * Logging (currently errors are written to stdout, no other logging done) homepage: http://rel4tion.org/projects/http-listen/ bug-reports: http://rel4tion.org/projects/http-listen/tickets/ license: PublicDomain license-file: COPYING author: fr33domlover maintainer: fr33domlover@riseup.net copyright: ♡ Copying is an act of love.
